Hi,
I always heard that USC accepts Letter of References that are sent to PharmCAS, but I was looking at school informations on PharmCAS, and it says to directly send them to USC??
and on USC website, it says

Arrange for two letters of recommendation submitted on-line through USC Supplemental Application

Does that mean that we have to have letter of references sent directly to USC as well as PharmCAS??😕

Also, USC wants two recommendations.. but if I submit 3 on PharmCAS, would they review all three??


Please let me know if I have to tell the recommenders that they need to send the letters directly to USC as well.. (I really hope that I don't have to..)

+1... My recommender almost said no to me today after seeing 3 separate addressed and stamped envelopes for PharmCAS, Lomda Linda, and MCPHS. Actually he did say no... but said because I'm a really good student he'll do it for me anyway. Please tell me I don't have to bug my professor again. I already decided to not bug him for Western's supp app 🙁

I didn't have to send USC separate LORs last year, but that doesn't mean it's not a new requirement this year. I feel you for the not bugging profs for multiple letters. That's why I had 7 profs write the 9 LORs I needed last year (Western, LLU, PharmCAS). I'd call/email USC just to have them clarify.

is this something new they're doing this year? 😡
